Patriots had more support from militias in the countryside, and the loyalists were few in number.
they had there own battle they Had no weapons
Joining the Patriots would be preferable to joining the Loyalists for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Patriots were fighting for independence and the establishment of a democratic government, which aligns with principles of freedom and self-determination. Secondly, the Patriots were seen as more representative of the common people and their interests, while the Loyalists were often associated with a more elitist class. Lastly, joining the Patriots offered the opportunity to shape the future of a new nation, rather than remaining loyal to British rule.
Patriots and Loyalists had some commonalities. They were both dedicated to their cause. They were both, more likely than not, born in the colonies. They both wanted to avoid conflict if possible.
Why I want to be a Patriot Do you wonder why I want to be Patriot? I'm writing about Patriots because they're interesting and unusual. I am going to write about unfair King George, independence, and the events that happened to the Patriots. First, as we all know, King George was unfair to the Patriots. The taxes were too high. The taxes really hurt our businesses. Our lawyers fought in court with the Loyalists because of how unfair the Loyalists' and King George's laws were. We didn't only fight about how unfair the laws were; we also fought about how the taxes were unfair, too. Also, King George appointed governors. King George was very unfair! Next, Independence was another important thing to the Patriots. Independence brought wealth and freedom to the Patriots. The Patriots thought independence was very important to them because businesses would be better and less unfair, than the Loyalists' businesses. Another reason why the Patriots thought independence was important is because if they were independent, they would have fewer taxes. The Patriots would at least lower the taxes! Finally, the Patriots had a very interesting life. They had many events happening in their lives. The Loyalists shot the Patriots. That was a very important event. Five people died, and six people got wounded. This event was called the Boston Massacre. Suddenly, the Patriots snuck to the Loyalists' houses because they wanted revenge on them, especially when they fired the bomb on us! Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party. This event was one of the most important events in all of history! The Patriots were really mad about the really high taxes paid for everyday goods (tea), so they just dumped tea into the harbor! That was a very big waste, but that's how mad Patriots were about Loyalists! Hopefully, now you know why being a Patriot is better than being a Loyalist! Again, I would choose to be a Patriot, because the Loyalists were unfair (including King George), independence, and the Patriots had many events! Patriots are very interesting and fun to learn about!

New England chose the patriots side also, Great Britain chose the loyalists side
The soldiers were called Yankees (from the name for colonials in general), and Continentals (also the name applied to the first US army). British loyalists considered them rebels or traitors, but the usual term for the Revolutionary fighters is "patriots", because they identified more with their colonial homes than with their British heritage.

We are in the hands of the king your family is safe and we have more soldiers.

It is a matter of opinion whether a loyalist is better than a patriot. A loyalist is loyal to the government. A patriot is loyal to the nation. If the government is a good one, a loyalist is a patriot. If the government is not so good, a loyalist supports it anyhow, and disagrees with a patriot who would wish the replace the government for the good of the nation.
they would have a better life living under the king, and having protection from there fellow soldiers

Between 25% to 35% of the American colonists wanted to remain with British rule, rather than rebel. Some had successful businesses while others were more patriotic to Britain than the U.S. Many whose jobs were determined by trade wanted to remain loyalists , because if the revolution was successful they knew they would be out of a job.
New England chose the patriots side also, Great Britain chose the loyalists side
The British had more money and more supplies than the Patriots.
